I tried an ecig a few months for the first time didn't really like it. One of my friends bought an ecig a week ago let me try it and fell in love with it. Been looking around to get a good starting kit that I can use for awhile. I've been looking at the Evic mini with the Aga-te atomizer. I really like the portability of it. Looked at some videos online and my mind was blown how many more mini ecig are out there. I'm looking at spending around 150 to start off with I don't know if there's better options out there for me as far as portability and what not. Any help on any gear would be great full.

I'm new to this myself, but I recently bought a Volcano Inferno kit ($75.00 from their web site and comes with e liquid of your choice) and am really impressed with the kit so far. I've only had it a couple of days and the 900mah battery lasted a full day and a half. The kit comes with a second 600mah battery as well and I expect it to last the better part of a day. I'd say the Inferno is a great step into PV gear without breaking the bank. The iTaste MVP seems to be a good choice for variable voltage systems for new users, though you'll probably need to get a tank and tips for it, but the base unit costs only about $65 if you look around. Both of these options would bring you in at well below your target and are great systems from everything I've read and my experience so far. Good luck!

The regular eVic has gotten good reviews. It has variable wattage which many of us prefer over variable volt because of it's ability to automatically adjust the power as the resistence changes in your atty/carto, etc.

A less expensive version of the eVic which is also VW and can be made smaller or used full size is the VAMO. It runs about $40 without the batteries which are quite inexpensive:

VAMO Variable Volt/Watt APV V2

Review:

A PBusardo Review - The Vamo - YouTube


Either the eVic or VAMO would be big upgrades over any eGo model. Plus eGo batteries will run you $25 whereas VAMO batteries will run you about $11.

Good Luck

Hi zezak. Welcome to the ECF. There are about to be a whole plethora of folks telling you to get the Provari, or a twist with a vivi, so I will buck that trend and say if the evic feels right for you... get one. On the other hand the aga-t is something i would advise you to get if you want, but do not only get that as your feed system...... They are nice if you have the experience with building wicks, and coils. If they where my first device though i would still be smoking. You need something wayy simpler to fill and use to get started. A simple cartomizer, a simple ce4+, a simple vivi nova..... something to use while you perfect the coil and wick making on the aga..... Otherwise go hog wild. Get what you want to have, experiment where you have the patience to do so. But most of all the sooner you start vaping the better off you will be in the long run... Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Zezak - I have never heard of the Evic mini but you can pick up the regular Evic at Clouds of Vapor Bright Silver eVic . Now they have the AGA-T2 Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer , but you know the AGA T series is a rebuildable atomizer and requires you to prepare the SS mesh and wrap a coil before it will work properly.

Hope this helps

ProVari and AGA rebuildable atomizers are probably near the very bottom of the list of what I'd recommend for a beginner, just above the cig-a-likes. In my opinion, you can get started with much cheaper gear such as an eGo C or eGo twist for your battery (get at least two), a couple of different styles of atomizers such as a cartomizer tank, a clearomizer tank, and a cartridge; and then spend the rest on liquids to find what kind you like, or save the extra money.

That, I think will give you a much better introduction into vaping and allow you to make sure it works for you. Tehn, while you're vaping on that setup, do some reading into these other high-dollar, complicated devices and decide if they're what you want.

Wow thanks so much for the info. I've been looking at provari mini actually is it worth it $50 over the evic. As far as the price is def up in the air on the limit. If I can get something that will last spending a lil more is not an issue. Rather go all out now than spend $100 break a few months down the road and buying something I should have bought from the beggining. Are mods worth the asking price?

Apologize not used to the terms yet. When you get the basic kit you can buy a 18350 tube to make it smaller. Portability and size is extremely important on the first purchase.

If those are big concerns for you, I refer you back to my other post. eGo batteries and smaller atomizers are way smaller than the eVic, Provari, and rebuildable atomizers...closer to the size of a magic marker than of a flashlight.

If you are looking at the Provari and understand what it is, then I would recommend the Provari over the Evic. I myself have been looking a the Evic just because of what it says it does, and I have seen a few aftermarket add-ons for it that I thought were neet but it would be no more than a novelty item for me.

Hope this helps

I own two eVics and I love them. I also have three eGo twist which works wonders for portability. My Husband got into the AGA's and all the rebuildables and they are nice as well. In the end it is all up to you and what you are looking for in so far as vape quality. If you are ever in doubt about anything you can always look to PBusardo for his reviews on youtube. Also Finding a liquid that suits your taste is very important and can get quite expensive at first. The best advice that has ever been given to us is find what ever it takes to keep you off the analogs. Happy Vaping

Is the build quality much better on the provari? Is it worth $50 more?

Thank you for the info. Ive watched a lot of igotcha69 videos very informative and gives a good discription on how they are made.

My goal is deffiently to stop smoking cigarates.

@c8h10n4o2x2
It seems like a lot of people are using the provari and nothing but good reviews from it. Leaning towards that a little bit. Just want to get a good setup that I can use for months to come. Are mods that people make worth it?

I just recently sold my Provari and have to admit it was extremely well built unlike much of the vape gear we see. Many vapers become "collectors" and that's what you have to decide as chances are your first PV will not be your last. As for my Provari, which was almost a year old, I added some juice and almost got back the money spent on it. Another issue is we are in the midst of many much lower priced VV PVs entering the marketplace- some lower priced Mods even have more capabilities than The Provari.

I was thinking of trying an ego twist as I'm still new too and I'm confused on the tank system, I've been using a kr808d-1 (v2 cig) and kr808d-2 (greensmoke), been refilling my own cartomizers with different eliquids, so far it's been working great for me, but I'm really wonderinf if I should spend even more money on something more in the mod kit end of things, and the ego seems to be a very popular intermeddiate device, but I'm not familiar with the tanks...I have tried clearomizers with my current batteries, and I've not had any luck with them , they keep leaking. Appreciate any feedback :)

What are you calling Mods? Do you mean like the Provari or Evic or like the BoD.
If you are referring to aftermarket parts like the Hippo & Twins (for the Provari) and the BoD (for the Evic), some of them make the device a little better, some are just a new way to do the same as an existing item.
If you were referring to the Provari or Evic and such, they are just battery holders and each user has his/her own favorite, what works for them.

The BoD is a telescoping battery tube, so you do not have to carry different size tubes for different size batteries.
The Hippo is air control and the Twins is a telescoping extension for the Provari.

Hope this helps
